If you like it that is the main thing

Hi Buddy,, Keep it up as and when you feel like making footage. You have inspired many and become a KZbin friend to over 14 thousand followers,,, thats no failure my friend. Life is for living as well so go and grab it while it’s there,, you can always come back later and relate all your experience’s to give us a joyous watch and listen.

Just had a thought Maybe purchase the official Bachman Henry from the Thomas line and see how a hand crafted family made Henry model compares to a official store bought model of him made from a factory . Bachmans Henry is made both in the USA and the UK in shops and online . Maybe grab one and first review it then compare it and this lovely model here . Anyways enjoy your day . Don’t forget to smile 😊

Lovely to see, I too have spoken to Dan as we are both professional figure painters, I do lots of Commisions thru Australia and US. I love that you took the time to describe how you paint, excellent

Very well reproduced, but still, the prototype looks so ugly.

I'd play the lotto next your luck is running good.😊

Thank you for giving me ideas on adapting HM7000 decoder/speaker to fit into smaller GWR locos, brilliant, Pete

I like those 3d printed platform walls - I need those but don’t have the printer - is there somewhere I could buy them or something similar do you know?

Saved From Scrap

This looks excellent and a real upscale to the original imho.

Amazing collection

1:12 This engine is known as a Ty51. These were the last steam engines ever made in Poland. It's basically the Polish version of a 9f. They were both the biggets steam locomotives on their respectful countries & the were the last steam locomotives to be made by their companies.

Yes. Detailed modelling can drive you bonkers, I know from lockdown

Nice idea Tris but you must be a very wealthy man! A set of 12 Bachmann seated figures is about £15 minimum and the movement lighting strips by Gaugemaster £66 for 3 = £22 each. So that’s about £37 per coach!! I normally pay no more than £15 per coach, buying carefully online. So that triples the cost of each coach. I have about 50 coaches in my collection. They look great but, sadly, my finances can’t stretch that far.

Hi Tris! Glad to see you are enjoying yourself, like everyone else we are certainly curious about the progress, but the best is to see that you are doing well 👍🏻

The music is disturbing your words mate, drop the music in this good video😮

Hi from New Zealand. Nice build but you have the doors reversed, the bracing should be on the inside never on the outside.

Hi Tris. Glad you’re ok and enjoying your break from the hobby. I’m starting again in the hobby and it’s all down to you. And in a few weeks time I’ll be building a layout using you shunting layout as inspiration. Thank you again Paul.

Do it only when you enjoy it because it was your enjoyment and passion that brought me to your channel in the first place. Less often but joyful is the best.

I'm glad to hear everything is OK, do what you need to do.

Hi Tris, home based hobbies are often a personal distraction from the daily challenges in our lives. A busy and demanding employment which in your case is at the very sharp end of a competitive sporting commercial business creates demands and pressure that often need such distractions to add some needed balance and reflection. Adding the peripheral pressures of sharing your hobby beyond the home and your close companions can be counter constructive but most of those that follow will certainly appreciate your need to take time out. We need to work to live but should never force ourselves to live only to work!

Will we get a re run of these? I missed out on the first lot 😅

Very nice does it come in br green

I wish I lived in the UK

Really well done and like the GC interludes 👍

Hi Tris , Lovely to see you again having a brake in Poland having walk giving another interesting chat, Great - Thank You. My son Luca and is Lithuanian wife Iveta and Ambika their 5 year old daughter live over the boarder in Vilnius the capital of Lithuania, when we go to visit them we sometimes go to the railway station were there are trains that go to Moscow - it's all very secure to get close up to see the trains. You may fancy taking a trip there yourself one day. Take care, Ron -West Dorset.

17:46 you know these drivers are quite similar to the ones they have at steamed hams

Taking a break is a great thing. It keeps your mind fresh.

Hi Tris. Nice to see you back.. Must admit did wonder what's happening with you and the modeling. You said in your last vid you lived in Tilehurst, me too , in the 70s . I do like your live chats because we can learn a lot from each other, plus it's a good community. Keep it all as fun only do it when you want to , don't force yourself to do anything otherwise it becomes a job, or you end up with it costing you more than just money Enjoy the hear and now, enjoy your hols. See you whenever you feel like it. Take care. 😊

I miss your videos

Nice to see you mate awesome channel mate

I have really appreciated you sharing the shunting layout, so much so that I am now halfway through constructing my own. This has been possible by watching your progress and techniques that have been a great encouragement to me. I can imagine how much time and effort you have put in to make it possible so thank you for that.

Enjoy your chill down time. You Tube is a hobby so don’t put too much pressure on yourself.

Nice to see you back Tris. Sometimes it's nice to take a brake from the hobby as well as making KZbin videos as it can be as you said stressful at times. The best thing I was told treat it as a hobby film what you want to film. I have recently been doing some weathering on my locos as well as working on different areas of my layout.

Seems the effort to produce regular content outweighs the rewards so fully understand why you wanted a break and just put something out as and when you feel inspired. You are not the only KZbinr who has reached this point recently so you are not alone!

Hello, Tris, I agree with you, if churning out utube videos is getting stressful and no longer fun then one should take a step back and reevaluate what you do, kind regards George

We have been on a6 month trip in our motorhome to Tasmania and back to home. While on the trip I worked on a small layout in TT:120. Back home now so I can get to work on my other 2 modules.

The thing i enjoy about your channel Tris is the warmth and friendliness you project. If you push yourself too hard to fill a schedule for KZbin you will grow tired of what you enjoy Tris. Dont burn yourself out, just come back into the modelling when you feel inspired. It is good to know you are ok.

Wondering how you were buddy. It's all a hobby, so pick it up and put it down from time to time - no sweat. Take care of yourself ✌️👍💜😊👍

Nice to see you doing a video again . Take your time .

Great to see you back Tris, have missed your posts, was getting worried, don’t feel that you have to post stuff all the time, life is short, enjoy yourself!

I can understand the bit about walking away and having a break I had to do that because I was putting so much preasure on myself to keep up with the miniature's for war gaming also the trains it just turned into a blur so enjoy your break and keep us posted when you can

Tris - greetings from Sydney Australia! You have inspired me to get back into Model Railways again as part of my recent Retirement. I used to be heavily involved in R/C car racing and 1/32 slot cars, but am getting over the enormous drain of resources needed to remain competitive - so went back to something much more relaxing... Like others have posted, your videos have inspired me to build a 12' x 18" shelf 00 scale British based 'shunting layout' - which represents a terminus from a branch and main staging tracks coming from the other side of a scenic divider... People keep saying "But Train Sets go around in circles?" - to which I reply, "Have you looked at the real world lately?" So each piece of rolling stock is representing a purpose - serving the industries in the town or! moving between Branch and Main using the Interchange tracks. I've copied your ideas for the Peco Oil Depot! Sadly, the Australian versions of hanging basket liner mat didn't really work out as a grass basis... As much as we have enjoyed and looked forward to upcoming videos, you do you and post as you feel! You have my admiration either way! Cheers from DownUnder!

Hey buddy, thanks for the update. That’s the best part off the hobby you can drop it when you need to and then come back. As for future micro layout pls oh pls do a ng7 narrow gauge layout I think it would be amazing and very interesting, also being o scale builds and scenery it’s easier and fun to work with.

Good to see you are well and enjoying your break. We’ll be here to watch your next video whenever you decide to upload one because your content is excellent so no pressures here! 🎉

Thanks for the update, Tris. You jist do what you want to do, its your channel and you owe nobody. One thing I noticed from this video was the complete lack of prison security fencing along the railway line. Its almost as though they have a different approach to trespass in Poland and dont overreact every time someone goes near the tracks like they do in the UK.

Nice to hear from you again, tris. I would like to know how the loft layout is going, my good friend, as I watched that from the start, and it looked like it was going to be a great build. Take care mate you and the family.

Hello Tris! Glad to see you're happy and well. Be great to see you do a live stream

Hi Tris, so good to have an update. Like many, I guess I've missed you, but so important you've paced yourself. I joined you when you were in the loft as I was coming back to the hobby after many years. Thanks for introducing me to Tony, when I'm near Rugby I try to pop in and support the shop. I hope you are well and maybe we'll catch up in the loft or the workshop soon. Be gentle with yourself. Dave.

Great update Tris, remember it's your hobby, we are all in it for the same reasons. Really liked the shutting layout, when you started the series I had just started my own, they have helped me no end. Just wish I was as far on as you! The track is down and I can now run engines it is great stress relief. Keep safe.
